Athena
Technologies has just announced the release of a new 6 piece speaker
system called the MICRA 6. This system was designed from the ground up
to accomplish the goal of providing quality sound and value in a small,
sleek, home theater flat screen solution.

The MICRA
consist of four MS satellite speakers that feature a 3.5 inch long
throw woofer platform, and a 1/2 inch tweeter. Flexible mounting
hardware is included that allows the speaker to be wall or ceiling
mounded. The speakers’ enclosure is formed from an injection molded
resin that provides a light yet solid structure. All drivers are
magnetically shielded. The MC is the matching center channel included
in the system. It features a 1/2 inch tweeter and dual 3.5 inch woofers
for added power handling and dynamic abilities. It is timbre matched to
the MS satellites and comes with mounting hardware that also allows for
numerous mounting options.

The set up is also simplified, like all Athena products. The M 225
subwoofer is is also included with the system. It features a 225 watt
MOSFET amplifier, and a new design that allows it to complement most
decors while taking up very little floor space. The vented 8 inch
design is flat in response down to 27hz, however, athena claims it is
capable of more actual bass output.

The subwoofer has its own filtering system build in, so the end user
need only connect a single RCA jack from the receiver. The operating
range of the sub is preset, allowing plug and play simplicity.

The MICRA system will begin shipping at the end of September, and has a suggested retail in the US of $549.99.
